Definitely not BS,
so your cosmic egg can remain intact. In the pan the oil is essentially
static, so there is a major boundary layer conduction issue. In any well
designed oil cooler with narrow high-velocity channels with internal fins or
turbulators - - Ah-h-h; hold it right there, the AC core doesn’t qualify.
Or are you using a well designed oil cooler?
I'm using an
evap core, but I don have a well designed oil cooler or two laying around
in the back of the hanger if necessary.
Good luck with your
fittings,
Thanks, but
it didn't help :-( I tried a new fitting on the hose, and it still
barely leaks, so I guess I falsely accused Earl's, and the problem is
really with the fitting that's welded on the evap core. I just
ordered some of those "Del" seals that Spruce sells for this very purpose.
I've heard they work well, but have never needed to use one before. If
they really do require less torque to seal, then they will become standard issue
on all my evap core fittings, since I hate to put too much torque when
tightening them. Come to think of it, same goes for the EWP
fittings. Good thing I ordered
20.
